Man's Family Tree (8 of 54)
Series: The Book of Beginnings
Keith Krell
Genesis 5:1-32
A group of Florida senior citizens were talking about their ailments: ''My arms are so weak I can hardly hold this cup of coffee.'' ''Yes, I know. My cataracts are so bad I can't even see my coffee.'' ''I can't turn my head because of the arthritis in my neck.'' ''My blood pressure pills make me dizzy.'' Finally, a woman said, ''I guess that's the price we pay for getting old.'' A man replied, ''Well, it's not all bad. We should be thankful we can still drive.''
Do you ever feel like you are getting old? Is your age catching up with you? Are you not the man or woman you used to be? If so, join the crowd. Most people 25 and older recognize that health and strength depart rather quickly. As my dad likes to say, ''Growing old is no fun!'' So let me share with you several signs that you are getting older:
- Everything hurts and what doesn't hurt doesn't work.
- The gleam in your eyes is from the sun hitting your bi-focals.
- You keep repeating yourself.
- Your children begin to look middle aged.
- You keep repeating yourself.
- You finally reach the top of the ladder and find it leaning against the wrong wall.
- Your mind makes contracts your body can't meet.
- You look forward to a dull evening.
- Your favorite part of the newspaper is ''20 Years Ago Today.''
- You turn out the lights for economic rather than romantic reasons.
- You sit in a rocking chair and can't get it going.
- Your knees buckle, and your belt won't.
- You keep repeating yourself.
- Your back goes out more than you do.
- You sink your teeth into a steak, and they stay there.
- You have too much room in the house and not enough in the medicine cabinet.
- You know all the answers, but nobody asks you the questions.
- You're asleep, but others worry that you're dead.
- You're proud of your lawn mower.
- You keep repeating yourself.
